COMMON SERVICES: IBM and SCRT report requirements

Products

• Common Components and Services for z/OS

Issue/Introduction

Running Common Components and Services (CCS) 14.1 and moving to CCS release 15.0.  

The SCRT report is required for reporting usage.

1. Is it correct to send the IBM SCRT report instead, until upgrading to Common Services 15.0?
2. Where is the CAISCRT sample JCL for the SCRT ISV report?

Resolution

• IBM SCRT reports do not have any information regarding BROADCOM products and should not be provided unless specifically advised.
  
  
• Broadcom ISV SCRT reports are required. All related maintenance is available for both CCS 15.0 (current GA release) and 14.1 (EOS as of 12/31/2020). LU07226 is the general UPGRAD solution which lists the SCRT related maintenance for both r14.1 and r15.0
  
  
• The CAISCRT sample JCL will be delivered in the CAW0JCL dataset with the corresponding maintenance installed.

SO15860 is the PTF for CCS 14.1, that delivers the current sample JCL

SO15571 is the latest PTF for 14.1 and it has a PRE for SO15860 and all others

LU18180 is the PTF for CCS 15.0, that delivers the current sample JCL 

  
NOTE: Do not attempt to apply this fix.  It is simply informational and lists the needed maintenance for the two releases of CCS.
